Dominican Republic athletics prize money
The Dominican Republic has taken $760,500 out of athletics, 25th of the 121 countries the sport has paid. Marileidy Paulino is the biggest earner on $605,500, 79.6% of the national total.
All of it belongs to six athletes by name. The Dominican Republic has never been paid a relay purse, a World Relays ladder place or a cross country team standing, which are the three things that pay a federation rather than a person.
